In a culture built on consumption—especially of food—it is easy to forget the poor that Jesus cared so much about. We get caught up in acquiring, buying, eating. Yet paradoxically, the more stuff we consume, the more our spirits wither and starve.

A Place at the Table invites you on a journey of self-examination, discipline, and renewed focus on Jesus that will change your life forever. Author Chris Seay is giving you a challenge: eat and drink like the poor for forty days and donate the money you save on groceries to a charity or project that serves the poor in concrete ways.

But Chris doesn’t expect you to go it alone. A Place at the Table includes a short chapter for each of those forty days with Scripture, reflections, prayers, and encouragement. You’ll even get tips for engaging your whole family in the process.

Listener Opinions

" I read this with my Sunday School class over Lent. It's a wonderful study for the season, and it really makes you think about your relationship with food and how so many people in the world are hungry. Not a book easily forgotten. "

" Great devotional book for the Lenten season. Especially if you want to fast. "

by Amber Veverka | 3/22/2013

" The author had nice notions but the book felt all over the place. I didn't end up reading it daily because I wasn't that excited to read it. "

" A great devotional to lead your heart in contemplation of the global poor. "

Lisa Garces | 5/4/2012

" Beautiful book. I struggled with application mid way. Repentance is a process. Hope to do it again next Lent. "

Tami Jo | 4/28/2012

" A very different way to look fasting and Lent. I have not decided what kind of fast I will do this Lent, but this book has lead me to no I must participate in some sacrifice. Also, the author encourages us to participate in feasting. I will read the daily readings again as I go through Lent. "
